What we are called out for in Blackheath
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Blackheath
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Blackheath included. There is no extra charge for travel.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackheath. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
