What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for 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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Elvaston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elvaston. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Elvaston questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you come to Elvaston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Elvaston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Elvaston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
