How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- 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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Bath repair in Pattiswick without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Pattiswick: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are there extra charges for Pattiswick?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pattiswick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Signs you need bath repair in Pattiswick
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
