Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Sandy Balls
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Your questions about bath repair in Sandy Balls
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sandy Balls.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
