DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for St Philip's Marsh
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, St Philip's Marsh included. There is no extra charge for travel.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
