What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath repair in Little Stanney
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Little Stanney
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 a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Stanney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Little Stanney
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Little Stanney. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
