Our bath repair service in SA8
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Pricing in SA8
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to SA8. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in SA8, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from SA8
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
