Bath repair across G43: what to expect
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in G43
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re 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.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common questions in G43
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
