DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Lower Layham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Lower Layham
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover Lower Layham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lower Layham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you need bath repair in Lower Layham?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
