What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Chaldon Herring, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair in Chaldon Herring, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Chaldon Herring questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How much does bath repair cost in Chaldon Herring?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Chaldon Herring
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Chaldon Herring?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
