Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we’re called out for in Mapledurwell
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
