About our bath repair in The Fence
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Signs you need bath repair in The Fence
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
The Fence: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for The Fence?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work in The Fence?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Fence for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in The Fence, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why The Fence customers choose us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Fence
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
