Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
