What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath repair in Balfron
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
