Your questions about bath repair in East Carlton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
