What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Houghton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
