About our bath repair in Priory Wood
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Priory Wood
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Priory Wood. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
