How we handle bath repair in Little Bealings
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Common problems we fix in Little Bealings
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
