When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Questions from Great Abington
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Abington. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Abington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Great Abington
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
