Bath repair across SS13: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Pricing in SS13

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Landlord and trade work in SS13
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SS13 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
SS13: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
