Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Jacob's Post
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Jacob's Post
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Jacob's Post contact us are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Jacob's Post, and we will reply with a fixed price.
