What we are called out for in Vaynor
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
