When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we are called out for in Kingsthorpe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
