Bath repair in Snittongate without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Snittongate questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in Snittongate?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Snittongate?
We do. We send a technician to Snittongate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Signs you need bath repair in Snittongate

- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
