Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Claypits, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Claypits
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Claypits: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Claypits?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GL10 postcode.
