10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Let us know if it has been repaired before
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair, re-enamel or replace your bath?

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How many areas need work
What the surface is made of
Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Corringham: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
