Bath repair in Cheriton without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it

Cheriton questions
Are there extra charges for Cheriton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Cheriton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
What we’re called out for in Cheriton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
