DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our bath repair in Combwich
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we’re called out for in Combwich
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
