Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Torpoint
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Advice

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
