What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Red Rice without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Red Rice
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Red Rice?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
