Common problems we fix in Quebec
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Quebec
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
