What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Signs you need bath repair in Foxfield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Foxfield questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repairing versus replacing in Foxfield
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
