Our bath repair service in CB3
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
What it costs in CB3
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from CB3
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
