About our bath repair in Chilton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What else we do in Chilton
Repairing versus replacing in Chilton
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Chilton
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does bath repair cost in Chilton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HP18 postcode.
Will the repair show?
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When to call us in Chilton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
