- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bath repair at your home in Upshire
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Upshire
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Upshire?
We do. We send a technician to Upshire for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Upshire
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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 look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
