Questions from Creetown
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How we handle bath repair in Creetown
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
