Bath repair across RM5: what to expect
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 so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
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. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
RM5 questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath repair cost in RM5?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
