Nether Chanderhill questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath repair cost in Nether Chanderhill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Bath repair in Nether Chanderhill without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

When to call us in Nether Chanderhill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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 water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nether Chanderhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
