Bath repair across SA36: what to expect
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in SA36, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
How the damage happens
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Common questions in SA36
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
