How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Bath repair in Hampsthwaite without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about bath repair in Hampsthwaite
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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 photo.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Hampsthwaite
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
