Bath repair in Symington without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
