Bath repair in Emersons Green without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Emersons Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 early repairs matter.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Emersons Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
