Bath repair in Battlefield, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Battlefield
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Battlefield included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we’re called out for in Battlefield
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.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battlefield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why Battlefield clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Battlefield, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
