Bath chip & crack repair in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire

- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Waddesdon
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need bath repair in Waddesdon
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Waddesdon: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work in Waddesdon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waddesdon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
