How we handle bath repair in Howe Hill
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Howe Hill
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Howe Hill
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 steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
