Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Toft Monks
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
