Bath repair across AL9: what to expect
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common problems we fix in AL9
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Landlords, agents and businesses in AL9
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Look after 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 small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
AL9 questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to AL9?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to AL9 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
