What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath repair in Royston, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
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 typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in Royston
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you need bath repair in Royston?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
