Our bath repair service in BH1
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
What it costs in BH1
Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for BH1. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the damage happens
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in BH1
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including BH1. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
