Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath repair in Waldringfield Heath
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
