Bath repair at your home in DG7
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

What we’re called out for in DG7

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
