Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Peckleton Common get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Peckleton Common, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. 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.

- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
