How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our bath repair in Crossways
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Crossways
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossways as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Crossways
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
