What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Crossapol
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need bath repair in Crossapol
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
