Spotted a Chip in Your Bath? Here's What to Do (and What Not to Do)
2 June 2025 4 min readBy Re-Finished Team

A chip in your bath looks cosmetic. It isn't. Once the surface is broken, water finds the substrate and starts the slow, hidden damage that turns a £95 chip repair into a full bathroom replacement.
Do this immediately
- Dry the area thoroughly after every use.
- Avoid any bleach or abrasive cleaner near the chip.
- Send us a photo for a fixed written quote within 24 hours.
Don't do this
- Don't apply a DIY chip repair kit — they yellow and lift within months.
- Don't fill it with silicone — it traps water against the substrate.
- Don't ignore it. Chips spread under thermal stress and weight.
Spot-chip repairs typically take under 2 hours and are.
