Bath repair at your home in Chillenden
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Chillenden
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from Chillenden
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What we are called out for in Chillenden
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
What affects the price in Chillenden
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chillenden. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
