Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Phantassie
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Phantassie
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Phantassie, and we will reply with a fixed price.
