Bath repair at your home in SS2
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Pricing in SS2
Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Landlord and trade work in SS2
For anyone letting property in or around SS2, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
FAQs for SS2
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
