Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

FAQs for Neville's Cross
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
