Bath repair at your home in DD1
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Pricing in DD1
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to DD1. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
What we are called out for in DD1
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DD1 questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to DD1?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to DD1. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
