What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Bassett
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Bassett. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work in Bassett?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bassett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Bassett
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bassett use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
