Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
About our bath repair in Offleyhay
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath repair in Offleyhay
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Offleyhay?
We do. We send a technician to Offleyhay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When to call us in Offleyhay
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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 will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Offleyhay
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Offleyhay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
