Bath repair in Chyandour, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chyandour as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Chyandour
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we’re called out for in Chyandour
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace in Chyandour?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
