About bath repair in CM9
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in CM9
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Repairing versus replacing
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for CM9. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for CM9
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, CM9 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
