About bath repair in SN11
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
SN11 questions
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 do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to SN11?
We do. Repair technicians travel to SN11 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
