Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is my repair covered?

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Repair or replace in Boyland Common?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically 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.

What affects the price in Boyland Common

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Boyland Common. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Boyland Common?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
