Enamel chips are common — a dropped tap, a falling shampoo bottle, an overzealous fitter — and they're the kind of small problem that quickly becomes a big one. A single chip lets water reach the substrate, and on cast iron and steel, rust starts within weeks. Specialist chip repair fixes the damage permanently in a single short visit. ### What it is Spot repair of single (or multiple) enamel chips on baths, basins, sinks, appliances and cast iron. Damage is filled, primed, colour-matched and sealed for a permanent, watertight result. ### Who it's for Homeowners, landlords, appliance owners, hotel and B&B operators, and tradespeople responsible for installer or impact damage. ### When it's needed As soon as a chip appears — earlier intervention means a smaller repair and no risk of rust or substrate damage spreading. ### Why a specialist matters DIY enamel touch-up paints are notorious for yellowing and peeling within months. Specialist chip repair uses two-part fillers and industrial coatings that bond chemically and stay put. What Happens If You Wait ## Small problems rarely stay small. An enamel chip looks small but exposes the substrate beneath — and that's where the real damage starts. ### The risks of leaving it Rust forms on cast iron and steel within weeks of substrate exposure - Stains set permanently into chipped areas, looking worse over time - Chips spread into long cracks under thermal stress - Bacteria colonise broken enamel — a hygiene risk in baths and sinks - Insurance claims more difficult once damage has spread - Eventual full resurface or replacement instead of a quick repair ### Common mistakes we see - Using DIY enamel touch-up paints — yellow and peel within months - Filling chips with bath sealant — discolours and traps water - Painting over chips with household enamel — won't bond - Ignoring small chips until rust forms beneath - Replacing the entire bath or sink for a single chip Our Process ## A clear, controlled, repeatable system. 01 ### Inspect We identify the substrate (cast iron, steel, ceramic, acrylic) and assess any rust or sub-damage. 02 ### Treat Any rust is removed and treated; the chip area is cleaned, etched and prepared. 03 ### Fill Reinforced two-part filler is applied in layers and sanded perfectly flush. 04 ### Match Surface is colour-matched and sealed with a sprayed industrial topcoat blended into surrounding enamel. 05 ### Cure & Hand Back Repair is cured on the repaired area. Why It Pays Off ## Concrete benefits, not vague promises. ### From £95 per chip Most single-chip repairs are quick, affordable and completed in under two hours. ### Stops rust before it starts Sealing the substrate prevents the cascade of damage that follows ignored chips. ### Same-day completion In and out in under 2 hours, area usable within 24 hours. ### Invisible from normal distance Colour-matched and blended for a near-invisible finish. ### Insurance-friendly Suitable for fitter damage and insurance claims with full documentation.
