What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS0 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
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, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from Chalkwell
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Chalkwell is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalkwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chalkwell. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chalkwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need bath repair in Chalkwell?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
