Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath repair in Richmond, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Richmond. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Richmond, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Your questions about bath repair in Richmond
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Richmond included. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Richmond
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
