What we do, step by step

- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Little Canada
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Little Canada
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we are called out for in Little Canada
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Repairing versus replacing in Little Canada
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
