Bath repair at your home in Butcher's Cross
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Butcher's Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Butcher's Cross customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Butcher's Cross
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Butcher's Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Advice
Butcher's Cross questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN20 postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Butcher's Cross?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
