About bath repair in BL78
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to BL78. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
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.
BL78 questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL78 postcode.
Do you come to BL78?
We do. We send a technician to BL78 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
