Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace in Unthank?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Unthank clients choose us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
