Bath repair at your home in Warstock
You don’t 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 so the repair is hard to spot. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Warstock
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Warstock
- Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
