What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Skidbrooke, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skidbrooke. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Skidbrooke: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
