What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
About our bath repair in Farley Hill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Farley Hill
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book

- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Common questions in Farley Hill
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Farley Hill included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
