Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Eshott
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
