About bath repair in SS3
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
FAQs for SS3
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
