What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Kingston upon Hull
Kingston upon Hull: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we are called out for in Kingston upon Hull
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Look after the repair the same way as 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, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
