About our bath repair in Rawreth
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a 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 repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Common questions in Rawreth
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rawreth. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
