We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

What else we do in Bishton
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Common questions in Bishton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does bath repair cost in Bishton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What your bath is made of matters
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 cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Bishton?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath repair in Bishton
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What affects the price in Bishton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Bishton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
