How we handle bath repair in Chilworth
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chilworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath repair in Chilworth?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chilworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Most customers in Chilworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
