How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Waterfront
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Waterfront
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Waterfront?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA1 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
