How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Henny. What changes the price is:

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.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it

About our bath repair in Great Henny
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Great Henny
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How much does bath repair cost in Great Henny?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Great Henny?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Henny for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
