Bath Repair for Chacombe homes
Bath repair for Chacombe, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Chacombe, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Chacombe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Questions from Chacombe
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Are there extra charges for Chacombe?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Chacombe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Chacombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- 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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chacombe. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
