Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair in Chalkshire without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Chalkshire, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Chalkshire: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
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 isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Chalkshire. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
