Our bath repair service in CB24
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.

What affects the price in CB24
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Signs you need bath repair
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
