About our bath repair in Guyhirn
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common questions in Guyhirn
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Guyhirn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When to call us in Guyhirn
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
