What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Mill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Little Mill

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Little Mill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Mill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath repair in Little Mill

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Little Mill

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
