Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Bucks Hill
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for Bucks Hill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
