Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Acton Burnell
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Acton Burnell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair show?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What we’re called out for in Acton Burnell
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
