Bath repair in Chilton Street, done in place
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 scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we 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, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Chilton Street
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does bath repair cost in Chilton Street?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO10 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Chilton Street?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Chilton Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chilton Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we’re called out for in Chilton Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
