How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Great Smeaton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Smeaton

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath repair in Great Smeaton

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.
