Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
