A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

Common questions in Cade Street

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you work in Cade Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cade Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we are called out for in Cade Street

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
