Bath repair in Bridge Hewick without replacing anything
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 rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Bridge Hewick?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
