Bath repair in Burnett without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

All about bath chip & crack repair
When to call us in Burnett
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Burnett: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Burnett.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
