Bath repair in Castle Eden without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath repair in Castle Eden?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
