Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Rhodes clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

About our bath repair in Rhodes
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Rhodes: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rhodes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
