The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Plaitford
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Plaitford
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover Plaitford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Plaitford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
