How we handle bath repair in Earlstone Common
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
