What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Bath repair in Poling, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you work in Poling?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Poling. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Poling
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Poling
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
