What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Hatherton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace in Hatherton?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatherton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hatherton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
