Our bath repair service in NR2
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for NR2. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why clients in NR2 choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
Getting a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in NR2
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including NR2. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
NR2: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
