Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ecchinswell
If you manage property in Ecchinswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Ecchinswell
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ecchinswell, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Ecchinswell
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ecchinswell. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
