DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Godwinscroft, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Godwinscroft.
