Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from South Heighton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work in South Heighton?
We do. We send a technician to South Heighton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
