What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Bath repair at your home in Edney Common
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Edney Common. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Edney Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

What else we do in Edney Common
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edney Common as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath repair in Edney Common
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
