For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath repair in Quarter, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Quarter as everywhere else we work.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Quarter. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Common questions in Quarter
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Quarter?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Quarter. Prices don’t change with location.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
