Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Unthank
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Unthank and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we’re called out for in Unthank
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Unthank
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
