How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What else we do in Fifield
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fifield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Fifield questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
If you are in Fifield and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
