Questions from Sacombe
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sacombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sacombe. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Sacombe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
