How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Upton Scudamore
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upton Scudamore. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upton Scudamore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you are in Upton Scudamore and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Upton Scudamore: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Upton Scudamore?

What happens after I send pictures?

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Upton Scudamore
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally 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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Common problems we fix in Upton Scudamore
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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
