Bath repair in Chilgrove without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chilgrove and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Chilgrove
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilgrove
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Chilgrove
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chilgrove, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Chilgrove
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
