What else we do in Birchwood
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain 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.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Birchwood
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
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.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
