Bath repair at your home in BD5
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
What it costs in BD5
Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for BD5. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it

Repairing versus replacing
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to BD5. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
BD5: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
