How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Balloch: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
