Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Upper Dicker
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is my repair covered?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need bath repair in Upper Dicker?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
