How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The colour and finish to match
The size and number of damaged areas
The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

Natural light rather than flash
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The material, if you know it
Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

Have new chips seen to early
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Priest Hutton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Priest Hutton questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Related advice

What affects the cost of a bath repair?

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Priest Hutton?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
