How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Earl Soham customers choose us

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
