Bath repair at your home in Chapels
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Common problems we fix in Chapels
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
What else we do in Chapels
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Chapels: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Chapels?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chapels. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Chapels?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
