Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
