What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work

  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elvington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath repair in Elvington

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Elvington

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repair or replace in Elvington?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Questions from Elvington

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are there extra charges for Elvington?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Elvington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
