Bath repair across IV99: what to expect
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Repair or replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in IV99 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common questions in IV99
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
