Bath repair in Clive, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Clive
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Clive
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Clive. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
