You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Appledore Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
