Repairing versus replacing in Selattyn
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Selattyn clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Bath repair in Selattyn, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Selattyn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Selattyn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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.
- 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 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Selattyn
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
