What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath repair in Racton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Racton and across West Sussex.

Repair or replace in Racton?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Racton questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Racton included. Travel is included in the price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath repair cost in Racton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
