Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Friars Cliff. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Friars Cliff, 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
What we’re called out for in Friars Cliff
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Friars Cliff
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friars Cliff use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
