Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath repair at your home in Great Clifton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, acrylic 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.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- 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.

Common questions in Great Clifton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Clifton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
