About our bath repair in Caldecote
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Caldecote
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Caldecote. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Caldecote
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Caldecote: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
