About our bath repair in Bonning Gate
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Bonning Gate?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we’re called out for in Bonning Gate
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Landlord and trade work in Bonning Gate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What else we do in Bonning Gate
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
