About bath repair in SL5
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What it costs in SL5
Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Open spaces near North Ascot include Virginia Water Lake.
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for SL5. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Your questions about bath repair in SL5
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for SL5?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
