Bath repair in Sourton without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What affects the price in Sourton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Sourton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Sourton questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sourton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
