DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Bath repair in Yarrow, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Advice
FAQs for Yarrow
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
