Repair or replace a bath or shower base chip?

Replacing either a bath or shower base can quickly become complicated and expensive. You need to remove the surrounding tiles or shower screen, ideally without damaging them or the underlying waterproofing. You will then need to source a replacement and get it installed. All of which require accredited trades to complete, and put your bathroom out of action. All to remove damage that may have been repairable.

Before you pay full price for replacing a bath or shower base, talk to our friendly team about cost-effective repair options.

With repairs, our team of local experts use the best market leading products to quickly fill bath or shower base chips or scratches, and then closely match the colour and surface texture, making them no longer be the first thing you see when you shower everyday.

Our repair solutions have been tried and tested over the last 20 years, so we have confidence that they will stand reasonable wear and tear.

FIX ‘N’ CHIPS offers care instructions to help ensure your repair lasts and a 12-month warranty. There are some exceptions, so please discuss with your local repair expert to make sure this applies to your repair.

So not only do you avoid the hassle and expense of having multiple trades, such as plumbers, tilers or shower screen technicians, come into your house to replace a chipped or scratched bath or shower base, but we can also be there quickly and much cheaper so you can go back to enjoying your bathroom the way you like it.

Commonly asked questions

Find answers to FAQs for bath and shower basin chip and scratch repairs:

What types of bath or shower base damage do you repair?

We repair many common causes of bath or shower base damage such as chips from dropped objects, scratches from something impacting the surface, accidental dents, and some cracks. To find out more, get in touch and share a photo for a free review and quote. Please note that not all damage to baths or shower bases is repairable, but we’ll let you know once you send through a photo so as to not waste your time.

What are the benefits of using FIX ‘N’ CHIPS for bath or shower base repairs?

Fast and reliable services with significant savings and amazing results – Our service eliminates the need for builders or residential clients paying full price on removing and installing a new bath or shower base, plus the risk of impacting the surrounding bathroom during removal.

What bathroom bath or shower base damage can’t you fix?

If you have a large crack or hairline cracks in your shower base, or a large hole in your bath, which impacts the structural integrity, unfortunately these may need more than a chip or scratch repair to resolve. If we think something can’t be repaired, we’ll be upfront and honest with you. So if we think it’s something we can’t do, we’ll let you know and ideally point you to someone that can help.

To see if your bath or shower base can be repaired, please get in touch and share through a photo of the damage. We’ll then let you know if it’s something we can help with, or if not, who may be able to assist.

How long does a bathroom bath or shower base repair take?

There are a few variables that can impact how long a bath or shower base repair can take. The key ones are the size of the chip/scratch, the colour and texture of the surface we need to match, and the number of chips/scratches needed repairing.

To get a free quote, please get in touch with us with the address of the job and a photo of the damage. We can use this to provide an estimate to save you the cost and time of a site visit.

That being said, it commonly takes about 1 to 2 hours to repair a chip in a bath or shower base.

How long does a bath or shower base repair last?

Each repair is unique, so it does depend on the original level of damage and the impact on the underlying bath or shower base structure. We do follow a proven process with products that have been tried and tested over the past 20 years. The FIX ‘N’ CHIPS repair process is designed to make highly visible damage, no longer the first thing you see.

The length of time a bath or shower base repair lasts depends on a range of factors. The most common ones are: the level of damage, the amount of traffic/weight the repair needs to hold and the ongoing care and maintenance. If for example, the initial damage to a shower base has caused cracks in the structure itself, impacting the structural integrity, a long lasting repair is going to be challenging.

The repair solutions we use are designed to last a reasonable amount of time with good care and maintenance. A key part of this is ensuring you don’t clean the repaired area with bleaches or aggressive cleaners which can impact the quality of the repair finish.

FIX ‘N’ CHIPS offers care instructions to help ensure your repair lasts and a 12-month warranty. There are some exceptions, so please discuss with your local franchisee chip repair expert to make sure this applies to your repair.

Chez M

I cannot recommend FIXN'CHIPS highly enough. When I emailed the company to request a quote for chips in 2 shower bases, Amy promptly replied to tell me that unfortunately they did not service my area. However rather than leave it at that, she went above & beyond to contact one of the other franchisees in another area, and see if they would quote my job. Naz from Gippsland contacted me almost straight away and we organised for him to do my job.
Naz was prompt, very professional and easy to deal with and did a fantastic repair for a good price, with the shower bases looking brand new.

Eva You

Gary did an absolutely magical transformation on my cupboard side panel. He did a seamless fix to a chip in the corner and was an all around legend! Easy to schedule with, happy to drive all the way out to Murwillimbah and gave me a discount as well. Thank you soooo much Gary for all your help - I definitely recommend! (The photos speak for themselves!)

Adrienne Anson (Adey)

A week after we moved into our brand new house I dropped a casserole and it fell onto the floor smashing a small area of two adjoining tiles. They are quite large and the damage was noticeable, but we thought the only option was to replace both tiles, which would have been a big job. Consequently nothing was done and that was 7 years ago! I read an article in the local paper about Matt and Shannon opening Fix n Chips. I made contact and sent a photo of the damage. They made contact straight away, Matt came two days later and after an hour and a half the damage was fixed with no mess or need of replacing the tiles. My husband and I were absolutely delighted with the result. Matt was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend their business.

Marianne Corbett

Andrew attended as scheduled to repair our kitchen bench. The repair was so perfect I can no longer find where the chip was. Highly recommended. 😁

Rose Rose

Thank you Alan for your promptness and doing a great job fixing the chips on my island bench. You were very professional, friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend you to anyone. That's why I'm giving you a five star review.

Leanne Dalton

I can’t recommend Fix and Chips highly enough! I recently had security screens installed and was left with two windows covered in screw holes — 24 in total! I honestly didn’t think anyone could fix the mess, but how wrong I was.

Ben came out in windy conditions and did an incredible job. He filled every hole and perfectly colour-matched the paintwork — you’d never even know the damage was there. I’m beyond impressed and so grateful to Fix and Chips for turning something that had been such an ongoing eyesore into absolute perfection. Thank you so much!

Nick Mate

Benny from sunny coast, couldn’t thank him enough! Absolute legend, done a killer job on my counter top🔥

Brad Dent

Excellent repair on a fairly large chip out of our ceaserstone countertop. We had Andrew come and complete our repair and were really impressed with the colour matching and the job he did. Lovely guy who was happy to ask the millions for questions dished out by the kids 😂.

Brendan McGahey

These guys are the best. I was completely amazed how good the result came up at a great price compared to a new bathtub. Well done Ben you are an artist thank you guys

Gaylene Ridgewell

Jack from Lara Fix & Chips did an amazing job of our bath and ensuite floor - can’t even see where he fixed the chips they are so perfect. Highly recommend and very reasonably priced.

Peter Robbins

Gary is the king. Awesome job. Highly recommend

Tony Neech

Matt was transparent and informative from the very beginning. He had a very tight schedule and let me know that from the beginning so I could make an informed decision whether I wanted to wait or not.
He was very personable and professional whilst in my home and the workmanship was 10 out of 10.
Will definitely use again and will recommend.

Dave Clark-Robertson

Great service and communication from the team in Roxburgh Park, would recommend for any benchtop repairs

Jody Cartwright

Kath Power

Great service and Matt was a delight to deal with. We had 2 large chips in a massive stone bench. Matt fixed them beautifully. A big thank you !

Trevor White

Matt and Shannon did a great job in removing the burn mark on my laminex bench top. It is now extremely difficult to see where the repair is on the bench. Well done.

Jevena Obrien

Gary OBrien is a magician. We had chips in the stone bench and chips in the floor tiles. You now wouldn’t be able to tell after he weaved his magic. Such a nice guy to boot.

Tina Hogan

We have used Gus Faithful on two occasions for kitchen cupboard repairs and were very happy with his work. He was punctual, skilled and took great care with every detail. We can highly recommend Gus. John & Tina, New Norfolk.

Kate Stevenson

Absolutely blown away by Vinay’s work for us in Melbourne’s west. He was extremely responsive, moved days around to accommodate us, repaired nearly 40 chips in a stone bench top (damaged by tenants), and then worked his magic on large chips in 2-pack kitchen cupboards. I couldn’t be happier.

Dee Milosevic

Gary was great. He fixed the chipped tile in my apartment and it literally disappeared.

Katrina Vincze

Ahmed from Peninsula fix’n’chips was friendly, on time, and did a great job! Thank you!

Andy Duong

Vinay was super professional, very attentive and most importantly did an amazing job with the chips!

Ali Callinan - Home

After a tradie accidentally drilling a hole in our new kitchen bench top, I was devastated. I discovered Matt and Shan's card at the hardware store and thought it was worth a shot—definitely better than replacing the entire bench top. They did an incredible job, and it’s nearly impossible to spot where the hole was. Thanks to them, we don't need to replace the bench top, and my kitchen looks perfect. Plus, they were both a pleasure to have around while they worked!

Diane Shannon

Friendly, efficient service and a fantastic result.

Beth Bennett

We couldn’t be happier with the job Shan did on a chipped tile. I had to go back and look at the original photo I had sent because I couldn’t remember which tile had been chipped! It had been repaired with such precision. Shan and Matt were both highly professional and communicative. They are a great service to have in our area that will save lots of money and time by getting things repaired instead of replaced.

Zacchary Catania

Ahmed was very friendly and insightful when explaining how he was going fix some chipped tiles in the kitchen. He showed up on time and worked efficiently, the tiles look as good as new. Would recommend to anyone!

Angela Riordon

Easy and quick, they done a fantastic job fixing our window frame.
Thank you very much appreciated.

Sarah Bond

Shannon and Matt are wonderful people and always work hard to make the customer happy! Highly recommend!

Anne Touceda

Excellent and friendly service. Alan is very good at what he does!

Kate Harris

Matt did an excellent job repairing two chips on our kitchen bench and one on the bathroom basin. The workmanship was top quality. He was professional, friendly, and easy to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommend Fix n Chips Brisbane!

Karen Raj

Craig. QLD. Unbelievably good work. So impressed. You can’t see the marks in the bath & they were bad. Well mannered & we are thrilled

Reem Sweid

Vinay was fantastic. I'm in the inner western suburbs of melbourne. He came within a couple of days - was very lovely and easy to communicate with. He did a FANTASTIC job on a matt white stone bath that had two chips on it. Just a total magician - can't even tell it was ever chipped. Thanks Vinay!

Andrew Raper

Gary came over to fix my benchtop that was chipped, I can’t even tell where it was! Fantastic job!! Would highly recommend!!

Monique Egan

Amazing! Chips, scratches all gone. Perfect solution to bring back to new and shiny! Great, friendly professional service would highly recommend.

Louis Spagnuolo

Matt Lucas

Matt from Fix’n’Chips was amazing. Did a fantastic job on a difficult bench repair. Very happy with the result. Friendly service and great attention to detail. Thankyou.

Susan Ross

Ahmed came to fox a chip in my bath. He did a great job. Very professional and a lovely fellow. Highly recommend

Danielle Bonich

I'm absolutely floored. I did not expect the chips to be completely disappeared. I thought I'd be able to tell when I looked at the area, however Rob is an absolute GENIUS and the chips we had in our apartment have completed vanished. I am so, so, so impressed. Surpassed all my expectations. Would highly recommend!!!!!

Liam McCrory

Gary O’Brien the Gold Coast owner/operator was amazing, the transformation from a horrible chip in the middle of the kitchen to looking like a new tile. The colour matching and finish are absolutely perfect, thanks Gary for your professional approach and also being so easy to work with.

Recommendation is 5+ stars.

Sharon Shearing

Gus did a very professional job fixing the chip in my benchtop. Was able to fix it to look the same. Highly recommend

Laura Reed

Gus in Hobart did a top job repairing three chips on our kitchen benchtop and repairing a chip in a stone top dining table. All are so well colour matched you have to look very hard to see them. Gus was prompt in responding, quickly fit us in and took the time to explain how he was approaching the work. Thanks!

Penny Plaschke

Gus at Fix’n’Chips did a superb job of fixing chips in our kitchen cabinetry, stone bench-tops and shower tiles. He colour-matched all surfaces perfectly and his expertise in repairing the damaged areas was excellent. Gus is professional at all times, communicates well and achieves great results.

Sandy G

Rob from Roxburgh Park was amazing. He repaired a large chip in our smartstone benchtop and you cannot see where it was repaired. The whole process dealing with Fix n Chips was seamless and highly recommend them! Would not hesitate to use them again.
