Bath repair in Howwood without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Howwood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Howwood questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howwood
For anyone letting property in or around Howwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Howwood?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
