Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Babbs Green
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Common problems we fix in Babbs Green
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
