Bath chip & crack repair in Clipstone, Central Bedfordshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Clipstone, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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.
Bath repair in Clipstone, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Clipstone
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Clipstone questions
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.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Clipstone. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
