Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Hollingdon
Signs you need bath repair in Hollingdon
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Hollingdon contact us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollingdon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
