Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Ivington
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Ivington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ivington and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
