You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot.

Questions from Childs Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Childs Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Childs Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
When a repair is not 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
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What affects the price in Childs Hill
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
