What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Bath repair in Ballinger Common, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Ballinger Common
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you come to Ballinger Common?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ballinger Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Ballinger Common
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Ballinger Common contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
