Repair or replace in Upthorpe?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath repair in Upthorpe, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Upthorpe
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Upthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Upthorpe
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Upthorpe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
