For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Common problems we fix in Nethertown
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Nethertown contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
