Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Undley: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Undley included. Travel is included in the price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Undley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
