What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Bath repair in Brampton Abbotts, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Brampton Abbotts
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brampton Abbotts. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in Brampton Abbotts?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
