How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Overton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Bath repair in Overton, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Overton questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Overton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
