Common questions in Chirton
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Common problems we fix in Chirton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chirton. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Chirton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chirton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
