How we handle bath repair in Elsted
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Elsted questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsted
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elsted as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
