Battisford: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Battisford
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battisford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
