Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benslow
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Benslow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs
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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in Benslow
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
