Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Cavendish Bridge
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cavendish Bridge. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE72 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Cavendish Bridge: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Cavendish Bridge
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Cavendish Bridge contact us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cavendish Bridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
