How we handle bath repair in Rainow
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Rainow
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
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, in much the same way.
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 what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Rainow
How soon can you come?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

We do. We send a technician to Rainow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Rainow
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
