Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, 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 body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Haswell: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Haswell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
