About our bath repair in Upham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Upham
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upham. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about bath repair in Upham
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Upham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
