Bath repair in Slatyford without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Slatyford
Common problems we fix in Slatyford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Slatyford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
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.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slatyford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
