How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Snitterton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Snitterton
Questions from Snitterton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Snitterton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
