About our bath repair in Chapman's Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Chapman's Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Chapman's Hill
Your questions about bath repair in Chapman's Hill
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Chapman's Hill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Chapman's Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
