How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Earthcott Green?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Earthcott Green
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Earthcott Green: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
