Bath repair in Allenton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Allenton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
