How we handle bath repair in Bridgefoot
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Common questions in Bridgefoot
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bridgefoot?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
