About our bath repair in Chellington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
When to call us in Chellington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Chellington questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chellington. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
