Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Sowerby
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sowerby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sowerby questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
