DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Whitley Head
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
