How we handle bath repair in Chelmorton
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Chelmorton
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace in Chelmorton?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

- Most jobs done in one visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chelmorton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chelmorton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
