- Repairs from £95

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Elburton questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common problems we fix in Elburton
Most bath damage comes from something 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 lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elburton. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
