Chapel End questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you need bath repair in Chapel End?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chapel End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
