DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Chaulden
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Chaulden questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Chaulden. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Chaulden
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Chaulden?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
