The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fair Cross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fair Cross. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Questions from Fair Cross
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
Across the UK, so Fair Cross is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Fair Cross
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
