How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Tockington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Common questions in Tockington
Do you come to Tockington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tockington and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How much does bath repair cost in Tockington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tockington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Tockington
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
