How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How we handle bath repair in Hamsey
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Hamsey
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Hamsey
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
