About our bath repair in Buckley Wood
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Buckley Wood
Repair or replace in Buckley Wood?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include

- What aftercare is recommended

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckley Wood
For anyone letting property in or around Buckley Wood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
