Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rowanfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Rowanfield questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rowanfield. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Rowanfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
