The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Cold Cotes
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
