How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
