What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Compton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair in Compton without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Compton: your questions answered
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 about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Compton.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Landlord and trade work in Compton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Compton?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
