Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Paynes Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath repair at your home in Paynes Green
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlord and trade work in Paynes Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paynes Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not 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
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we are called out for in Paynes Green
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Paynes Green: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
