About our bath repair in Great Chesterford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
