Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Do you need bath repair in Nailwell?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Nailwell. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nailwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back

How do I get a price for bath repair in Nailwell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BA2 postcode.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
