What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
