Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE73 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Breedon on the Hill
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When to call us in Breedon on the Hill
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
