- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About our bath repair in Burley Hill
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Burley Hill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Signs you need bath repair in Burley Hill
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burley Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
