Bath repair in Small End, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Small End
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Small End. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Small End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Small End
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you come to Small End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Small End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
