Bath repair at your home in CA1
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in CA1
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
