Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Uppermill
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Signs you need bath repair in Uppermill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
