How we handle bath repair in Salthouse
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Salthouse
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we are called out for in Salthouse
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
