How we handle bath repair in Blackwater
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Blackwater, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath repair in Blackwater
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackwater. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Blackwater
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
