Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
