About our bath repair in Upper Chute
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Upper Chute
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Upper Chute
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP11 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
