The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in King's Walden
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for King's Walden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we are called out for in King's Walden
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions from King's Walden
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
