Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Questions from Caldecott
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Caldecott is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath repair in Caldecott?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Caldecott. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caldecott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Caldecott, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
