How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in The Bodnetts, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in The Bodnetts without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath repair in The Bodnetts?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from The Bodnetts
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
