How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
If you are in East Challow and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath repair in East Challow
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice

What else we do in East Challow
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in East Challow
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Challow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
