How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Margaretting
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What affects the price in Margaretting
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What else we do in Margaretting
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
