Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Yelden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Yelden
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath repair cost in Yelden?
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 MK44 postcode.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What affects the price in Yelden
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
When to call us in Yelden
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Yelden, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
