- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
About our bath repair in Slapton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we’re called out for in Slapton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slapton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Slapton
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Near you in Slapton
Around Slapton, we work in homes near Church of the Holy Cross. The nearest railway station is Cheddington station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Pitstone Green Museum (3.1 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Ivinghoe Beacon and Totternhoe nature reserve.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
