Bath Repair in Bushby
Our technicians come to Bushby for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How we handle bath repair in Bushby
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bushby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bushby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Bushby
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit

- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
