Bath Repair for Chestnut Hill homes
Damaged bath in Chestnut Hill? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chestnut Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle bath repair in Chestnut Hill
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Chestnut Hill
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Chestnut Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA12 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Chestnut Hill
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chestnut Hill. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Chestnut Hill?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
