How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Goldsborough
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
