About our bath repair in Great Chishill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Great Chishill questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in Great Chishill
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Chishill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
