How we handle bath repair in Borrowash
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Borrowash
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Borrowash
- Cast iron enamel

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Borrowash questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Borrowash, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Borrowash
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
