Bath repair in Downderry without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairing versus replacing in Downderry
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Downderry
Common questions in Downderry
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Downderry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Downderry for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath repair in Downderry?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Downderry. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Downderry. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
