Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Do you need bath repair in Staple Fitzpaine?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staple Fitzpaine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Staple Fitzpaine
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
