Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Watchfield
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common questions in Watchfield
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
