Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When to call us in Five Roads

Clients generally contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing in Five Roads
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

FAQs for Five Roads
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
