Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing 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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ewden Village. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ewden Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Ewden Village questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
