How we handle bath repair in Sandy
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
Sandy: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sandy included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When to call us in Sandy
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
