Bath repair at your home in Plaish
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
FAQs for Plaish
How much does bath repair cost in Plaish?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover Plaish?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Plaish for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
