What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Common End. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Common End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How we handle bath repair in Common End
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Common End
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
