About our bath repair in Forest Corner
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Your questions about bath repair in Forest Corner

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Forest Corner?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Signs you need bath repair in Forest Corner
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in Forest Corner
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Forest Corner. The price depends on:

- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
