What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
