What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sutton-under-Brailes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
