Repairing versus replacing in Fyfield
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What else we do in Fyfield
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Fyfield
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we’re called out for in Fyfield
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
