Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Countess Wear and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle bath repair in Countess Wear
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Countess Wear?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What happens on the day
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. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Countess Wear
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlord and trade work in Countess Wear
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Countess Wear as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
