About bath repair in EH7
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in EH7
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in EH7
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Your questions about bath repair in EH7
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Are there extra charges for EH7?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath repair cost in EH7?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH7 postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
