How we handle bath repair in Guide
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Guide. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Guide: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath repair in Guide?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Guide contact us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
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.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Guide. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Guide, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
