What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Strontian

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

FAQs for Strontian

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.
