Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Ilmer questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ilmer
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Ilmer
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
