How we handle bath repair in Boarshead
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boarshead as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Boarshead
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
