How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Bath repair in Leintwardine, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Leintwardine
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
