FAQs for Earlswood
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH1 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Earlswood?
We do. We send a technician to Earlswood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Earlswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in Earlswood?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
