What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lansdown. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Lansdown, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair at your home in Lansdown
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath repair in Lansdown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
