Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Netley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- 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
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Old Netley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for 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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Netley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Old Netley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
