How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Bath repair at your home in Glithno
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Common questions in Glithno
Do you cover Glithno?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Glithno. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Glithno
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Glithno. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
