About our bath repair in Red Hills
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Red Hills and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Red Hills
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Red Hills
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
