What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tadwick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tadwick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Tadwick?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
