Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

How do I get a price for bath repair in Winfarthing?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP22 postcode.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
