Repair or replace in Locksbottom?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Locksbottom
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Locksbottom, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through

Repairs by material
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
