Bath repair in Chelveston, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chelveston as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Chelveston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
