What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
When to call us in Killochyett
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
