How we handle bath repair in Humbie
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Signs you need bath repair in Humbie
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
