Bath repair in Forehill without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath repair in Forehill?
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 lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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’s what we repair.
Common questions in Forehill
Do you work in Forehill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Forehill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Forehill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forehill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
