We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Pennard. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
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, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in East Pennard?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from East Pennard
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Common problems we fix in East Pennard
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in East Pennard contact us are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
