Bath repair at your home in Rutland

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
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.
Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the damage happens

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Clients generally contact us about:

A kit repair that didn’t last
Damage beneath the taps
Chips on the rim or sides
Impact holes in acrylic

Repair or replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rutland

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Rutland

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Rutland?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rutland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
