Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Fordell Firs
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fordell Firs, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Fordell Firs
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work in Fordell Firs?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fordell Firs and the rest of Fife. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
