Bath repair in Drayton, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Drayton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
