What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Advice

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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 kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Caulcott
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Caulcott
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Caulcott
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
