DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair at your home in Medbourne
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Medbourne
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Common questions in Medbourne
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Medbourne as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
