Bath repair at your home in CF82
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
What it costs in CF82
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for CF82. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for CF82. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in CF82
How do I get a price for bath repair in CF82?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
