Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in St Lawrence
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
