Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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 body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Druids Heath

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Druids Heath and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
