How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath repair in Eastfield

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
