What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Sandford
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sandford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Sandford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Sandford
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandford
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we’re called out for in Sandford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
