About our bath repair in Old Sontley
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Sontley. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Old Sontley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Do you need bath repair in Old Sontley?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled

FAQs for Old Sontley
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
