When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Dafen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dafen. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dafen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Dafen
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Dafen
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
