Bath repair at your home in Coundon Grange
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Coundon Grange
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Coundon Grange?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Coundon Grange from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we cannot put right
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 steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
