Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we handle bath repair in Elston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before you book

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
