About our bath repair in Chickenley
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Chickenley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
FAQs for Chickenley
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Chickenley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chickenley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Chickenley
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chickenley. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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 will get a fixed figure.
