About our bath repair in Balterley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Balterley
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Balterley. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath repair in Balterley
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
