What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath repair at your home in Evie
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What else we do in Evie
Common problems we fix in Evie
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
