What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our bath repair in Panxworth

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Panxworth customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Your questions about bath repair in Panxworth

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Panxworth?

We do. We send a technician to Panxworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price
