Our bath repair service in BH2
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
