- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Chalton
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Chalton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Chalton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
