DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath repair at your home in Blackness
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackness
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Blackness
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Blackness
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Blackness

FAQs for Blackness
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
