Bath repair in Sprat's Down, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Sprat's Down

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Other services in Sprat's Down
What we are called out for in Sprat's Down
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sprat's Down, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
