What we are called out for in Uplawmoor
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book

Uplawmoor: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How much does bath repair cost in Uplawmoor?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Uplawmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What else we do in Uplawmoor
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Uplawmoor
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
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.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
