What affects the price in Headless Cross
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Headless Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about bath repair in Headless Cross
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Also in Headless Cross
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
