What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Fingest
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Fingest is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Common problems we fix in Fingest
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit

What else we do in Fingest
What your bath is made of matters
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 is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
