Bath repair at your home in Terras
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Terras
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Terras: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Terras?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
