DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Rodington Heath
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Rodington Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Rodington Heath
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Signs you need bath repair in Rodington Heath
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
