How bath repair works in IV40
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including IV40. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Common problems we fix in IV40
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in IV40 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around IV40, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
FAQs for IV40
Do you come to IV40?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to IV40. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
