Bath repair at your home in Little Billington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Little Billington?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Little Billington: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Little Billington.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Little Billington?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
