What we do, step by step
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 clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

How we handle bath repair in Philham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common questions in Philham
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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 you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How invisible is a bath 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.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need bath repair in Philham?
Most bath damage comes from something 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Philham. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
