What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Waterloo
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterloo
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Waterloo
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
