Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
About our bath repair in Chesterton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chesterton and across Warwickshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chesterton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Chesterton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bath repair in Chesterton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
