Bath repair across SS0: what to expect
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, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
What it costs in SS0
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for SS0. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in SS0 get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlords, agents and businesses in SS0
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, 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, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common problems we fix in SS0
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
