About bath repair in EH1
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, typically the next day.
What it costs in EH1
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in EH1 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
FAQs for EH1
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in EH1?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to EH1 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
