How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. 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.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Town. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Old Town
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Old Town?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you need bath repair in Old Town?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
