How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Knedlington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath repair in Knedlington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Knedlington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Knedlington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
