Can you repair a chipped enamel bath?

Yes. We repair chipped, cracked and scratched enamel baths in place using specialist vitreous enamel repair compounds. The chip is rebuilt and colour-matched for an invisible finish without removing the bath.

Can you repair a cracked shower tray?

Yes. We repair cracked acrylic and fibreglass shower trays in place, reinforcing the crack structurally and re-finishing the surface so it is fully watertight and looks like new.

Is it worth repairing a bath instead of replacing it?

In almost every case, yes. Replacing a bath involves removing surrounding tiles and plumbing — an expensive, disruptive job costing £500–£2,000 or more. A professional repair restores the same result for a fraction of that.

How long does a bath repair take?

Most bath chip and crack repairs are completed in two to four hours in a single visit, depending on the type and extent of the damage.

Can you repair a coloured or avocado bath?

Yes. We colour-match all repairs including older non-standard bath colours such as avocado, pink, peach, harvest gold and champagne.

Can a shower tray crack be repaired permanently?

Yes, when the repair is done correctly. We reinforce the structural cause of the flex or crack before applying the cosmetic repair, which prevents the crack from re-opening.

Can you repair a basin or sink chip?

Yes. Chips and cracks in ceramic, porcelain and composite basins and sinks are repaired in place without any plumbing removal. The repair is waterproof and colour-matched.

My bath was chipped by a builder — can you fix it?

Yes. Builder and renovation damage to baths, basins and shower trays is one of our most common jobs. We repair the chip before tiling is completed so it disappears entirely.

How long before I can use the bath after a repair?

For chip repairs, a few hours is usually sufficient. For larger repairs or any work involving the shower tray seal, we recommend waiting overnight before full use.

Will the repair be waterproof?

Yes. All bath and shower tray repairs are sealed waterproof as part of the process. The repair compound and sealant are both water-resistant once fully cured.

Replacing a bath or shower tray usually means removing tiles, panels and plumbing — a costly, disruptive job. Our in-situ repairs restore chipped, cracked and worn baths, shower trays and basins without any of that upheaval, typically in just a few hours.

We repair chipped enamel and porcelain, cracked and flexing acrylic, worn or stained surfaces and impact damage. The repaired area is rebuilt, colour-matched and re-finished to a smooth, durable, easy-to-clean surface that blends with the original.

From a small chip on a new bath damaged during a renovation to a tired old suite in need of refreshing, our repairs give a like-new result for a fraction of the cost and mess of a full bathroom replacement.

Repairing a bath or shower tray in place costs far less than a full bathroom replacement. A new bath supply and fit can cost £500–£2,000 or more once tiling, plumbing and decoration are factored in. A professional in-situ repair is a fraction of that.

Repair vs. replace — why it makes sense

Before spending thousands on replacement, consider what a professional cosmetic repair actually delivers.

Enamel baths are cast iron or steel with a glass-like enamel coating fused to the metal. When this coating chips, the bare metal beneath can rust if left untreated. We rebuild enamel chips using specialist vitreous enamel repair compounds that bond to the surface, match the gloss level of the surrounding enamel and prevent further moisture ingress.

Acrylic and fibreglass baths and shower trays can crack, flex and craze over time — often because the supporting framework has shifted or softened. We repair the crack or chip from the surface, reinforce the area from beneath where necessary, and re-finish to an invisible result. A flexing shower tray is reinforced before the cosmetic repair to prevent the crack re-opening.

Builders frequently chip baths, basins and shower trays when working in bathrooms — dropping tools, kneeling on surfaces or dragging materials across sanitaryware. These renovation chips are among the most common repairs we carry out, and most are completed before the bathroom tiling is even finished, so the chip disappears completely under the final grout lines.
