Bath repair in Callow, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Callow
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Callow is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Callow?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Callow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most customers in Callow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
