How bath repair works in SY23

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

What the surface is made of
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How many areas need work
Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Landlord and trade work in SY23

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

Your questions about bath repair in SY23

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
