Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath repair in Chilton Polden without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Chilton Polden
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from 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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Chilton Polden: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Are there extra charges for Chilton Polden?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What we are called out for in Chilton Polden
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Chilton Polden
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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 repair chips early.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
