Bath repair in Chuck Hatch without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Chuck Hatch: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Chuck Hatch?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chuck Hatch. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
If you’re in Chuck Hatch and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Chuck Hatch
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
