Bath repair at your home in IV51
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are 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.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Prices in IV51

Repair or replace?
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 booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in IV51
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in IV51 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
IV51 questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you come to IV51?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to IV51 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
