How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Questions from Irstead
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Irstead
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Irstead?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Irstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
