Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

About our bath repair in Outwood

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How easy the damage is to reach
How much damage there is
What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Something in shot to show the size
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any earlier repairs or coatings
A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Outwood?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Outwood

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How much does bath repair cost in Outwood?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will 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.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Let us know if it has been repaired before
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
