What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath repair in Shop
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Shop?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Shop
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shop?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shop use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
