Repairing versus replacing in Toab
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place

How we handle bath repair in Toab
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a 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 it’s worth getting them done early.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Toab?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Questions from Toab
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Toab
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
