About our bath repair in Sling
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Sling
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing in Sling
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
