What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath repair in Eaglesfield
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Eaglesfield and across Cumbria.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Questions from Eaglesfield
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA13 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repairing versus replacing in Eaglesfield
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
