Bath repair at your home in Navidale
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Common questions in Navidale
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Navidale?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Navidale contact us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
