How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Eriswell
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Eriswell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Eriswell
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eriswell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Eriswell?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we are called out for in Eriswell

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items

Questions from Eriswell
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
