Cess: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Cess is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How we handle bath repair in Cess
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cess. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
