Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Herodsfoot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herodsfoot use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
