How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Upton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Upton
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath repair in Upton
How soon can you come?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
