Bath repair across DH2: what to expect
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

What affects the price in DH2
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
If you are in DH2 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in DH2 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Don’t 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.
