Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Bath repair in Lower Sundon, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Sundon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Lower Sundon: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
