Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our bath repair in Misterton

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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 cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Misterton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Misterton: your questions answered

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
