Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How we handle bath repair in Blackgang
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Blackgang
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 will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Other services in Blackgang
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Questions from Blackgang
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
