Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair at your home in Clapton in Gordano
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 generally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clapton in Gordano as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Clapton in Gordano
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Clapton in Gordano?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
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’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Clapton in Gordano
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
