Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Cheddington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
About our bath repair in Cheddington
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Cheddington

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
