Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath repair in Mortimer
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Mortimer
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Mortimer
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK

Your questions about bath repair in Mortimer
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mortimer.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Mortimer
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Landlord and trade work in Mortimer
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mortimer as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
