Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Mappowder
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Mappowder contact us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mappowder. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
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 a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Mappowder
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Mappowder
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
