Bath repair at your home in Chalton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Chalton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. 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 combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Chalton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
