DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Islip. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What else we do in Islip
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
