  • Chips under the taps

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

If you are in Coombe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
