Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Snods Edge?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

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.

Questions from Snods Edge

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. 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. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
