About bath repair in IG9
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Signs you need bath repair
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in IG9
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for IG9. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
