When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Upton, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Upton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Upton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
When to call us in Upton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again

What else we do in Upton
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
