How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in Forgeside
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Forgeside. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Forgeside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Forgeside
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Forgeside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
