- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Bath repair in Normanston, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Normanston questions
Do you work in Normanston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Normanston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Repair or replace in Normanston?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common problems we fix in Normanston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
