What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for East End
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we’re called out for in East End
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
