How bath repair works in DT8
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What it costs in DT8
Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Common problems we fix in DT8
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to DT8. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
