Bath repair at your home in SS15
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in SS15

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in SS15
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
