Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Chapelton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath repair in Chapelton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Chapelton
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Chapelton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
