What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Heathfield questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Heathfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Heathfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Heathfield
Repairing versus replacing in Heathfield
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
