Bath repair in East Cholderton without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

East Cholderton: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need bath repair in East Cholderton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in East Cholderton contact us are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in East Cholderton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repair or replace in East Cholderton?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
