A chip in a bath is common and very repairable. Here's what causes it, what a professional repair involves, and why DIY kits often disappoint.

## Why baths chip
Most chips come from a dropped object or wear around the taps and drain. On an enamel bath the chip looks black because you're seeing the metal underneath; left alone it can rust and spread.

## What a professional repair involves
We clean and key the area, rebuild the chip with a filler suited to the material, then colour- and gloss-match the finish so the repair blends into the surrounding surface.

## Why DIY kits struggle
Kits rarely match the colour or gloss and don't last, and a poor patch can make a proper repair harder later. A specialist repair is smooth, matched and durable.
