Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair in Laighstonehall, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Laighstonehall
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Laighstonehall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
