Bath repair at your home in Bubwith
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Bubwith
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bubwith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Bubwith
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
