Bath repair across BH15: what to expect
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
What it costs in BH15
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Landlords, agents and businesses in BH15
For anyone letting property in or around BH15, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
FAQs for BH15
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
