Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
How we price bath repair

- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match

Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Morchard Bishop: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Morchard Bishop is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does bath repair cost in Morchard Bishop?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX17 postcode.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
