Bath repair at your home in Chaffcombe
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chaffcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath repair in Chaffcombe
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Chaffcombe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chaffcombe
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we’re called out for in Chaffcombe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
