Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle bath repair in Dunsmore Heath
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
What affects the price in Dunsmore Heath
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CV23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Dunsmore Heath questions
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
