What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Acton Turville without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Acton Turville
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Acton Turville: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
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 photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Acton Turville
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
If you manage property in Acton Turville, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
