Our bath repair service in BL5
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Prices in BL5
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the damage happens
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Landlords, agents and businesses in BL5
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Questions from BL5
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
