How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle bath repair in Upton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Upton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s 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, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Questions from Upton
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are there extra charges for Upton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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 we are called out for in Upton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
