What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ovenden. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How we handle bath repair in Ovenden
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Ovenden
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we’re called out for in Ovenden
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about bath repair in Ovenden
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
