- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle bath repair in East Studdal
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in East Studdal, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in East Studdal?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

Common questions in East Studdal
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT15 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, East Studdal included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Studdal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
