Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Smallbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Smallbridge questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Smallbridge?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smallbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallbridge
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Smallbridge
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
