When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

How we handle bath repair in Calton
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 regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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 water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace in Calton?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Calton questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Calton?
We do. We send a technician to Calton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
