We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When to call us in Bowbrook
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
