Bath repair at your home in Chittlehamholt
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chittlehamholt

Signs you need bath repair in Chittlehamholt
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common questions in Chittlehamholt
Do you come to Chittlehamholt?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chittlehamholt for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX37 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
