What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair in Doehole, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Doehole
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doehole as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Doehole
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE55 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
