Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roadwater as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Don’t 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Roadwater. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath repair in Roadwater

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
