Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Your questions about bath repair in Dunsville
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Dunsville?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlord and trade work in Dunsville
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunsville use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Dunsville
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
