About our bath repair in Folkington
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Folkington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Folkington: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
