What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Edmondsley, pictures 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.

About our bath repair in Edmondsley

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Edmondsley and across County Durham.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Edmondsley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

When to call us in Edmondsley

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
