- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Compass
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure

What else we do in Compass
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Questions from Compass
Do you come to Compass?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Compass. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
