Our bath repair service in OL2
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Getting a price
We price from photos 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in OL2, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
