Bath repair in Skinflats without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What affects the price in Skinflats
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Skinflats. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skinflats
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Skinflats
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 enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
