Bath repair in Sardis, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Sardis
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sardis. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Sardis
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Sardis
Landlord and trade work in Sardis
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sardis use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What does bath repair cost?

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
