Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Londonderry: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Londonderry included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Londonderry?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Londonderry. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Londonderry, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Signs you need bath repair in Londonderry
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Londonderry
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Londonderry
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
