Your questions about bath repair in Durleigh
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Durleigh. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Durleigh?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Durleigh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Durleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Durleigh
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Durleigh
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
