How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Great Musgrave questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Musgrave and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you need bath repair in Great Musgrave?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
