How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Stenton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
