Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Out Elmstead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlord and trade work in Out Elmstead
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath repair in Out Elmstead
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Out Elmstead?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Out Elmstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Out Elmstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath repair in Out Elmstead?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
