- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Rattery
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Signs you need bath repair in Rattery
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

FAQs for Rattery
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Rattery get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
