How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Questions from Bell's Corner
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need bath repair in Bell's Corner?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bell's Corner. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Bell's Corner get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
