What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Moat. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Old Moat?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in Old Moat
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you work in Old Moat?
We do. Technicians travel to Old Moat from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What else we do in Old Moat
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
