How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We do not add 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath repair in West Sleekburn, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common questions in West Sleekburn
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
