Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Questions from Ifield
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ifield?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH11 postcode.
Do you cover Ifield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ifield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Ifield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Do you need bath repair in Ifield?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
