Repairing versus replacing in Chale
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our bath repair in Chale
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Chale
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Chale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Chale
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
