Should you replace it?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Occold: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Occold?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Occold
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
