What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
When to call us in Lopen
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lopen
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Lopen questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lopen?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA13 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Lopen
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
