When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
