How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Brampford Speke get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Brampford Speke
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brampford Speke
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Brampford Speke
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
