How we handle bath repair in Chipstead
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chipstead. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Chipstead
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace in Chipstead?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chipstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
What we’re called out for in Chipstead
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Chipstead
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
