Bath repair at your home in Bean
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in Bean
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bean
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bean use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
FAQs for Bean

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
