Bath repair in Farewell, done in place

We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farewell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

When to call us in Farewell
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Farewell
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
