How we handle bath repair in Chattisham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Chattisham
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Chattisham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
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 quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Chattisham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Chattisham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
