What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Sandylane

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

Common questions in Sandylane
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sandylane?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What else we do in Sandylane
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
