Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
