Bath repair at your home in SS14
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 following day.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to SS14. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in SS14
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in SS14
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
