Bath Repair in Dayhills
Our repair technicians come to Dayhills for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Bath repair at your home in Dayhills
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Dayhills
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I get a quote without a visit?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
