How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Simister
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Simister
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace in Simister?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Simister. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Simister?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
