Bath repair in Jolly's Bottom, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Jolly's Bottom questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR4 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Jolly's Bottom?
We do. We send a technician to Jolly's Bottom for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Jolly's Bottom
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
