Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair in Donington South Ing without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Donington South Ing
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Donington South Ing. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Donington South Ing
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
