Repair or replace in Orby?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle bath repair in Orby
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Orby. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Orby
How do I get a price for bath repair in Orby?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Orby?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
