What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
About our bath repair in Coldharbour
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Coldharbour: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover Coldharbour?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coldharbour for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coldharbour, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Coldharbour
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
