Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Bath repair at your home in Butcher's Common
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. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Butcher's Common
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Butcher's Common get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
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 and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Butcher's Common questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
When to call us in Butcher's Common
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
