Bath repair across BN2: what to expect
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
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 a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to BN2. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Common problems we fix in BN2
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from BN2
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
