- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Mannington, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Mannington questions
Do you cover Mannington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mannington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you need bath repair in Mannington?
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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
