Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Which areas do you work in?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Signs you need bath repair in Springwell
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not 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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
