How bath repair works in S40
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Prices in S40

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in S40
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
