Questions from Smith's Green
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Smith's Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

What else we do in Smith's Green
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Smith's Green. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smith's Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smith's Green
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smith's Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
