What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Etchingham. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we are called out for in Etchingham

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
