About our bath repair in Orton Waterville
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Signs you need bath repair in Orton Waterville
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlord and trade work in Orton Waterville
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Orton Waterville
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
What affects the price in Orton Waterville
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Orton Waterville. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode

- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
