How we handle bath repair in Calford Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Calford Green. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Calford Green
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Calford Green
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Calford Green?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
