Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Dalscote: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you come to Dalscote?
We do. We send a technician to Dalscote for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalscote use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Dalscote
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath repair in Dalscote
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
