Repair or replace in Farlington?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

- No extra charge for your area

About our bath repair in Farlington
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we are called out for in Farlington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Farlington. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Farlington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
