Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Bowmore
Common problems we fix in Bowmore
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common questions in Bowmore
Will there be a smell?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
