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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Clatterford questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Common problems we fix in Clatterford
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
