Bath repair across BA1: what to expect
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in BA1, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from BA1
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, BA1 included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
