About bath repair in CT2
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in CT2
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for CT2. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath repair
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
FAQs for CT2
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
