Common questions in Slip End
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the repair show?
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath repair cost in Slip End?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What else we do in Slip End
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Slip End

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Slip End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Do you need bath repair in Slip End?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
