How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Vickerstown questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Vickerstown and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Repairing versus replacing in Vickerstown
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
