How we handle bath repair in Chetnole
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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 about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chetnole. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
