Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair in Bushmead, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bushmead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bushmead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Also in Bushmead
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bushmead questions

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
