Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Elton without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Elton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BL8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Elton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
