About our bath repair in Caldecott
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caldecott
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Caldecott
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Caldecott
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Caldecott
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
