How we handle bath repair in Cheriton Fitzpaine
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cheriton Fitzpaine and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Cheriton Fitzpaine: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you come to Cheriton Fitzpaine?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cheriton Fitzpaine from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in Cheriton Fitzpaine
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheriton Fitzpaine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
