What we’re called out for in Calderwood
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
How we handle bath repair in Calderwood
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Calderwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
