What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crathes. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Crathes
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How much does bath repair cost in Crathes?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
