How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hough-on-the-Hill. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle bath repair in Hough-on-the-Hill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Hough-on-the-Hill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hough-on-the-Hill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hough-on-the-Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
