DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ulpha. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Ulpha
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulpha as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ulpha. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Ulpha questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
