How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Bilting
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What affects the price in Bilting
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Bilting
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
