How we handle bath repair in Beckford
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after 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.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beckford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
