How we handle bath repair in Cinderhill

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Cinderhill

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Cinderhill: your questions answered

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
