- Repairs from £95

- Chips under the taps
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we handle bath repair in Maybury
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairing versus replacing in Maybury
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Maybury questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Maybury is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Maybury. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Maybury, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Maybury
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
