Bath repair across DN41: what to expect
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Around Healing

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the damage happens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DN41 questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
