Bath repair in Chiddingly without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Chiddingly?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.

When to call us in Chiddingly
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

Your questions about bath repair in Chiddingly
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
