About our bath repair in Eaton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Eaton

- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit

FAQs for Eaton
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
