Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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 frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Mortimer's Cross without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mortimer's Cross and across Herefordshire.

Should you replace it?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Mortimer's Cross clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Mortimer's Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Mortimer's Cross: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you work in Mortimer's Cross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mortimer's Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Mortimer's Cross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
