About our bath repair in Repton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Repton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What affects the price in Repton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Repton
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Repton
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
