Bath chip repair is one of the most cost-effective home repairs available. For £85–£175, a professional technician can make a chip in your bath invisible — at a saving of £400–£1,300 compared to bath replacement.

Here is a detailed 2026 price guide for all types of bath chip repair in the UK.

Single Chip Repair Prices

Acrylic bath — single chip: £85–£150

This is the most common repair request. An acrylic bath chip on the rim, side or floor of the bath, repaired in 1–2 hours. Colour matched, polished and guaranteed.

Enamel bath (cast iron or steel) — single chip: £95–£175

Enamel requires specialist materials. If the chip has exposed the metal beneath and rust has begun, rust treatment adds a small amount to the process. Slightly higher price than acrylic reflects the specialist materials and technique.

Stone resin bath — single chip: £95–£175

Dense material requiring specialist compounds. Brands including Victoria + Albert, BC Designs, Lusso Stone and others.

Freestanding bath — single chip: £95–£175

Interior and exterior repair. Exterior chips on freestanding baths are particularly visible and worth repairing promptly.

Multiple Chips in One Visit

Having multiple chips repaired in a single visit is significantly more economical than separate call-outs:

2 chips: £145–£250
3 chips: £185–£310
4 chips: £220–£360

The first chip carries the full price; additional chips attract a reduced rate because the technician is already on-site with materials set up and colour matched.

Bath Crack Repair Prices

Cracks are slightly more complex than chips — the crack must be stabilised as well as filled:

Hairline crack (under 5cm): £95–£175
Longer crack (5–20cm): £150–£250
Through-crack requiring stabilisation: £175–£300

Full Bath Resurfacing Prices

Where the bath has general yellowing, multiple chips, or an overall tired surface, full resurfacing transforms it:

Standard acrylic bath resurfacing: £250–£350
Large or double-ended bath: £300–£400
Enamel bath resurfacing: £300–£450
Freestanding bath resurfacing (interior): £300–£500

What Does Bath Replacement Cost by Comparison?

To put repair costs in context:

New standard acrylic bath: £150–£400
New premium or steel bath: £300–£800
New freestanding bath: £500–£3,000
Plumber (disconnect and reconnect): £150–£350
Removal and disposal: £50–£150
Panel replacement: £50–£200
Tiling disruption (if tiles abut the bath edge): £200–£800

Total replacement cost: £600–£1,500 for a standard bath, up to £5,000+ for a freestanding bath replacement.

A chip repair at £85–£175 represents a saving of 85–95% compared to replacement.
