Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath repair in Oaks in Charnwood?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Your questions about bath repair in Oaks in Charnwood
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
