We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When to call us in Netteswell
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Netteswell
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Netteswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
