Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Ouseburn. The price comes down to:

What else we do in Great Ouseburn
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Great Ouseburn?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
