Common problems we fix in Ebblake
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ebblake: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
