Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
About our bath repair in Reiss
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Reiss questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work in Reiss?
We do. We send a technician to Reiss for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Reiss
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
