Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for South Church. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Do you need bath repair in South Church?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in South Church contact us are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Church. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

South Church questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Are there extra charges for South Church?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
