Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic

Bath repair at your home in Ford
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Ford
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ford. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Ford: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
