Bath repair across B18: what to expect
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Pricing in B18
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we are called out for in B18
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for B18. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in B18
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
