Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Castleton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Castleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castleton
For anyone letting property in or around Castleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Castleton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Castleton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Castleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in Castleton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start 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.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
