Our bath repair service in PO12
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Your technician turns 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 morning or an afternoon, 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Pricing in PO12
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in PO12
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
