Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Cressage
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Cressage: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
