DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hurlston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
