Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Papworth Everard
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Papworth Everard. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
