Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What else we do in Badminton
Common problems we fix in Badminton
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Badminton questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Badminton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace in Badminton?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
