About our bath repair in Chessington
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in Chessington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Chessington: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Chessington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
