Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Cross Inn clients choose us

Bath repair in Cross Inn, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

If you manage property in Cross Inn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common questions in Cross Inn
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Cross Inn?
We do. We send a technician to Cross Inn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Cross Inn?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cross Inn. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cross Inn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
