How bath repair works in IV25
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Common problems we fix in IV25
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in IV25
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around IV25, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from IV25
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
