How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Horsebridge, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsebridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Horsebridge

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Horsebridge is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horsebridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.
