What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Eastcote: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Eastcote?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Eastcote. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Repair or replace in Eastcote?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Eastcote
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
