Bath repair across IV3: what to expect
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Pricing in IV3

What affects the price in IV3
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in IV3
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in IV3
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
