How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Bath repair at your home in Matchams
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath repair in Matchams
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Matchams?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
