How we handle bath repair in Law
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Law and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Law
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Law use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need bath repair in Law
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Law
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you come to Law?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Law from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Law included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Law. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
