Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Debden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Debden questions
Do you come to Debden?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Debden. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Debden?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
