Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in St Helier without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Helier and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Helier. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in St Helier, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlord and trade work in St Helier
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Helier as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
St Helier questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
