- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Calton
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Calton
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Calton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
