Repair or replace in Pale Green?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Pale Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Pale Green questions

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Pale Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
