Bath repair at your home in SY13
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
What you’ll pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to SY13. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in SY13
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Common questions in SY13
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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 we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for SY13?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
