What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Blyford
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blyford as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

FAQs for Blyford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What we’re called out for in Blyford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
