Bath repair in Bedford, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bedford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Bedford
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

When to call us in Bedford
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
