How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
About our bath repair in Ditton Green
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace in Ditton Green?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Ditton Green?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Ditton Green
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath repair in Ditton Green
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
