Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Crown
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crown
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
