How bath repair works in DH5
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Prices in DH5

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

DH5: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath repair in DH5?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
