Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Hemblington: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hemblington.

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.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Hemblington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hemblington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
