Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move.

Questions from Up Somborne
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are there extra charges for Up Somborne?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Up Somborne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Up Somborne?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
