DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Bonchurch
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Bonchurch
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Bonchurch, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
When to call us in Bonchurch
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Bonchurch questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
