How we handle bath repair in Matching Green
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Matching Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Matching Green
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 what we repair.

What else we do in Matching Green
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts 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.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Matching Green
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Matching Green?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
