What affects the price in Burton Waters
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Bath repair in Burton Waters without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
FAQs for Burton Waters
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Burton Waters?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Landlord and trade work in Burton Waters
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burton Waters as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Burton Waters
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Burton Waters?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
