DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS48 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Chelvey Batch questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Chelvey Batch?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chelvey Batch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Chelvey Batch

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need bath repair in Chelvey Batch?

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 generally contact us about:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
