Questions from Steps
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you cover Steps?
We do. We send a technician to Steps for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Bath repair at your home in Steps
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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 will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

What we’re called out for in Steps
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Steps get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
