Bath repair in Benton, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Benton
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
