Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Ufford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Ufford
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Ufford
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
