About our bath repair in Chaldon
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Your questions about bath repair in Chaldon
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Chaldon.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Chaldon

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Chaldon
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need bath repair in Chaldon?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
