How bath repair works in RG6
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
What it costs in RG6
Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for RG6. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
RG6 questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover RG6?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to RG6 from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
