Bath repair at your home in Enslow
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Do you need bath repair in Enslow?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Enslow: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Enslow. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Enslow
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
