Bath repair at your home in Bun Othan
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Bun Othan
For anyone letting property in or around Bun Othan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we are called out for in Bun Othan
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Bun Othan
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Bun Othan?
We do. We send a technician to Bun Othan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bun Othan?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
