What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
About our bath repair in Smallbridge
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
FAQs for Smallbridge
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Smallbridge
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Do you need bath repair 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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
