What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Bath repair at your home in North Malvern
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Malvern. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
