Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Popeswood
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairing versus replacing in Popeswood
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
