Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Claverhouse. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Claverhouse
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Claverhouse questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Claverhouse. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Claverhouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Claverhouse
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
