How we handle bath repair in East Chiltington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in East Chiltington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common questions in East Chiltington
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in East Chiltington
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
