DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Anchorsholme: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you come to Anchorsholme?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Anchorsholme from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Anchorsholme
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
