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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Srath Carran: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
