Bath repair in Banham, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Banham. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Banham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Banham
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Banham
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Banham contact us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
FAQs for Banham
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
