About our bath repair in Burbage
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
If you are in Burbage and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burbage. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burbage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
