Bath repair in Rilla Mill without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for Rilla Mill
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
