About our bath repair in Nantoer
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When to call us in Nantoer
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Nantoer
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
