How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Phoenix Row: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Phoenix Row?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Signs you need bath repair in Phoenix Row
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Phoenix Row use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. 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.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Phoenix Row
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
