What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Thurning
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
