How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath repair in Newfoundpool

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.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
