Bath repair in Manwood Green without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Manwood Green
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, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manwood Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Manwood Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
