What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tarrant Keyneston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Tarrant Keyneston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Tarrant Keyneston questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No extra charge for your area
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
