How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Birdham
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we are called out for in Birdham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
