How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Mutley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath repair at your home in Mutley
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Mutley
Questions from Mutley
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Mutley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
