How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Meynell Langley?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meynell Langley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Meynell Langley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Meynell Langley questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
