- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KY1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in Pathhead without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Pathhead
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Repair or replace in Pathhead?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pathhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Pathhead
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

- 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.
