Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dane Hill
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we are called out for in Dane Hill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dane Hill. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairing versus replacing in Dane Hill
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Dane Hill questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
