What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Calthorpe Street. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Calthorpe Street
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR12 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
