Bath repair in New Smithy, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

When to call us in New Smithy
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
