How it works

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we handle bath repair in Foul Anchor
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.

Your questions about bath repair in Foul Anchor
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Foul Anchor?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Foul Anchor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
