When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we handle bath repair in Combs
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need bath repair in Combs
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Combs use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Combs
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
