DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Chavey Down
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
What you get with us

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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 happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about bath repair in Chavey Down
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.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Chavey Down?
We do. Technicians travel to Chavey Down from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Prices and what affects them

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath repair in Chavey Down
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
