What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in Weekley, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Weekley clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Weekley

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Weekley

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
