A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in Dunham-on-the-Hill
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Dunham-on-the-Hill contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Dunham-on-the-Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
FAQs for Dunham-on-the-Hill
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
