About our bath repair in Chilton Foliat
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Chilton Foliat
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
