How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Common questions in Ironbridge
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does bath repair cost in Ironbridge?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Ironbridge
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
