What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rushton Bank. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the 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.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Rushton Bank

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Rushton Bank

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Rushton Bank: your questions answered

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
