Etchinghill questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
About our bath repair in Etchinghill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath repair in Etchinghill
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Etchinghill
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Etchinghill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
