How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

About our bath repair in Moorclose
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Moorclose questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moorclose. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Moorclose
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Moorclose?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
