Bath repair at your home in Paynter's Lane End
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Paynter's Lane End
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Paynter's Lane End included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What affects the price in Paynter's Lane End
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
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. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, 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, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paynter's Lane End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
