What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our bath repair in Kents Bank
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
When to call us in Kents Bank
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
