How we handle bath repair in Birchgrove
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Birchgrove
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
