Bath repair in Chicheley, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chicheley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice
Chicheley: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Chicheley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Chicheley

- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
