- The colour and finish to match

Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
About our bath repair in Eaton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Other services in Eaton
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eaton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eaton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Eaton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Eaton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
