About our bath repair in Waltham Chase
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Waltham Chase
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Waltham Chase: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
