About bath repair in IG6
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Repairing versus replacing
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in IG6 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from IG6
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
