Bath repair in Bodinnick, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What else we do in Bodinnick
Repairs by material
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Bodinnick
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Bodinnick
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bodinnick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Bodinnick, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
