Our bath repair service in B16
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 next day.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in B16
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in B16, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from B16
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to B16?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to B16 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
