FAQs for Betsham
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you come to Betsham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Betsham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath repair in Betsham without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Betsham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What else we do in Betsham
Repairing versus replacing in Betsham
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
