FAQs for Ellingham
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ellingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Common problems we fix in Ellingham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Ellingham contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
