Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fields End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Fields End

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fields End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Advice

Fields End: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
