We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chalton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair at your home in Chalton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Common questions in Chalton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Chalton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How the visit works

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
