Bath repair across CH31: what to expect
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Prices in CH31

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from CH31
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you cover CH31?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to CH31 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
