How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What affects the price in Guardbridge
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Guardbridge. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Guardbridge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
