When a repair is not the answer

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

About our bath repair in Overton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Overton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Overton?
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

What else we do in Overton
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common questions in Overton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Overton. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
