About our bath repair in Chapelgate
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Chapelgate
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Chapelgate
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chapelgate
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chapelgate. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
