DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
