How we handle bath repair in Meadgate East
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 so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

Do you need bath repair in Meadgate East?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
