Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Molehill Green
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Molehill Green. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
