DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
