Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sydling St Nicholas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before booking
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sydling St Nicholas, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.

- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Do I have to be there?

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sydling St Nicholas.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
