How we handle bath repair in Elton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Common problems we fix in Elton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace in Elton?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Elton
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you work in Elton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Elton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Elton.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
