How we handle bath repair in Layer Breton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Layer Breton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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’s what we repair.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Layer Breton. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. 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, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Layer Breton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
