Bath repair at your home in Boughton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Boughton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Boughton questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Boughton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
