How invisible is a bath repair?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we’re called out for in Allaleigh
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allaleigh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
