About our bath repair in Abbotts Barton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Abbotts Barton: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
