About our bath repair in Rassau
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common questions in Rassau
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Rassau?
We do. Technicians travel to Rassau from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What affects the price in Rassau
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Rassau
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Rassau
Do you need bath repair in Rassau?
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rassau
If you manage property in Rassau, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
