Bath repair at your home in Etchingwood
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Etchingwood?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Etchingwood questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Etchingwood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
