Bath repair at your home in Bishopstone
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bishopstone. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Bishopstone
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
