Upware questions
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB7 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Bath repair in Upware without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- 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
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 price, not a guess.
