Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Donington

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Donington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Donington contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Donington
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
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.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
