Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Bankfoot 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. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do you need bath repair in Bankfoot?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Your questions about bath repair in Bankfoot
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

We do. Technicians travel to Bankfoot from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bankfoot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
