A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in Welton le Marsh
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.
