Bath repair in Plain-an-Gwarry, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
