How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
About our bath repair in Cold Ash
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Cold Ash
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cold Ash
For anyone letting property in or around Cold Ash, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
